1. General

a. CT Ice patrol

Connecticut waterways and major bodies of water outside the jurisdiction of the United States Coast Guard (USCG) fall under the jurisdiction of State of Connecticut (CT) Department of Emergency Management and Homeland Security (DEMHS) and Municipal agencies. Patrol of these areas is crucial to public safety, and will help responsible agencies minimize flooding and bridge damage due to ice jams by providing detailed situational awareness to those agencies.

CAP Connecticut Wing (CTWG) is tasked to operate an Ice Patrol (IP) in the winter months when the ice in the major waterways, major lakes and shoreline may threaten public safety and impede commercial boat traffic. The USCG conducts ice-breaking operations in Long Island Sound and the CT navigable waterways within its Area of Responsibility (AOR) to:

Facilitate security operations within ports, waterways, and the coastline

Help prevent loss of life on the water and ashore when impacted by ice

Provide urgent response to vessels that are directly impacted by ice

Support communities that have need for fuel, food, and medical supplies

Assist in preventing and easing flood conditions

Meet reasonable demands of commerce to facilitate navigation on frozen, navigable waterways

CAP aircrews will be responsible for obtaining aerial photos of the Arrigoni Bridge on every sortie involving the Connecticut River and obtain photo documentation of significant icing, anomalies, pollution, or suspicious activity. For Candlewood Lake, capture photo documentation of exposed, open water when the majority of the lake is iced over.

This Ice Patrol Mission shall be flown three times per week as weather permits

Option 1: Two (2) sorties Western Route sortie and Eastern Route sortie

Option 2: One (1) combined sortie Fly the Combined Route. Kent, Candlewood Lake and the Housatonic River north of

the Wheeler Bridge (I-95) will be omitted

b. Incident Command Post

The Wing Commander will be the primary Incident Commander. An Incident Command Post is not required for this mission.

c. Primary Dates & Times

Mission will start when the bodies of water in CT begin to freeze over and temperatures remain below 32F. Based on historical records such conditions typically occur from late December through mid-March, but will be adjusted based on actual weather conditions. A training session will be scheduled in early December to brief aircrew interested in flying this mission. This is an AP mission.

d. Alternate Dates
